Trivia
- Clyde contributed to the surprise results by defeating the Celtic at Parkhead, Glasgow. The Clyde defenders played a big part in their side's victory, their spoiling tactics keeping the Celtic forwards very subdued. Centre-forward John Lowe put the visitors in front in 54 minutes and M. Smith from the penalty spot in 88 minutes sealed a good away win for Clyde.
- There were surprise results in the sixth round ties of the English Cup competition. In a thrilling game at Sheffield, the Wednesday dismissed the Arsenal by the narrow margin of one goal. Two Second Division sides had successes over First Division clubs, Bolton Wanderers scoring a good victory over Everton, while Burnley defeated Birmingham. The weather was generally fine.
- The Scottish amateur boxing championships were held in the City Hall, Glasgow, on Saturday night. There was a much improved attendance in measure due to the fact that Lord David Douglas Hamilton was making his second essay to win the heavy-weight title. He was drawn in the first ties against R. V. Luke of the Dalmarnock Club, Glasgow, who won on points. Lord David Douglas Hamilton's failure however was a gallant one even though he was giving away a considerable amount in weight, he endeavoured to carry the contest to his opponent, and in the first round it looked as if he might win by a knock-out. He had Luke twice on the canvas, the first time for a long count. Thereafter Luke made full use of his greater height and reach.

CELTIC BEATEN AT HOME
Clyde exacted a full revenge, when they beat the Celtic at Parkhead, Glasgow, by two goals. The Parkhead team inflicted on Clyde their first defeat of the season at Shawfield last October. Clyde were undoubtedly the better team in the return game, and fully deserved their success.
The Celtic were too confident of victory, and wasted many fine openings in the first period, only to find themselves unable to equalise after the visitors had taken the lead. Much of the credit for the victory must be given to Clyde's almost impregnable defence, particularly Stevenson, who gave a faultless exhibition of goalkeeping.
From a quiet opening. Clyde were first to threaten danger, and Hogg was prominent in blocking a cross by Douglas. Clyde harassed Kennaway before McGrory tried to put a different complexion on matters for the Celtic, but Stevenson cleared confidently. The home side were clever enough in midfield, but lacked finish.
The visitors were smart, and their two extreme wing men caused Hogg and McGonagle a lot of trouble with their quick running and accurate crossing.
After a goalless first half, Lowe scored nine minutes after the interval, having two attempts before he beat Kennaway from close range.
The Celtic attacked after that, and bombarded Stevenson's charge, every one of the home forwards having a shot at goal. The goalkeeper, however, was equal to every drive, and Douglas and Lowe had one or two good efforts at the other end. McGrory made several commendable efforts to equalise but Clyde's defence stood firm.
Two minutes from the end Clyde were awarded a "penalty" from which M. Smith scored.
The victors were sound all over with Stevenson outstanding. The Celtic gave a poor display, and only Kennaway, McGonagle, and McGrory impressed.
